She called on Zuma to ask for an urgent review of the new law if he was serious about increasing tourism revenue.

vehicles for work opportunities

The province would look to the business process outsourcing, information and communications technology, and aquaculture industries as vehicles for work opportunities.

Addressing coastal concerns, the province wanted the area between Hermanus and Gansbaai to be declared a special economic zone.

She said this would allow perlemoen (abalone) farmers to receive special tariffs and incentives.

She would also push for the development of the province's 12 small fishing harbours.

"It is time to remind national government that, while we are committed to co-operation, the constitutional mandate for small harbours lies with local government."

Education

In education, the province would focus on improving language and maths results and upping the quality of school leaders, governing bodies and environments.

Zille said almost R3.3bn would be spent on building and upgrading health facilities in the next five years.

The premier left her province's "biggest challenge" until last, which was building housing.

"With a housing database of over 500 000 households in the province, which grows daily as urbanisation escalates, we have estimated that it will cost over R70bn to provide land, services, and top structures to everyone who needs it."

She said this was unsustainable. Citizens needed to become more involved in projects instead of waiting to receive a home.

The province was working on a new housing model that would incorporate partnerships and strategies with the city of Cape Town and other municipalities.

In the meantime, it would be delivering on a number of housing projects in its second term.
